While I find I can understand ~75% of what she says (until she really gets going / talks to another native speaker), I can only manage to get my ideas into semi-coherent Spanish about 30% of the time. :) But I'm hoping it is a good foundation. Glad to know there will be another couple in our group. I hope you got your staging info by now; we got ours about two weeks ago(?). We stage out of Washington, DC. See you soon! kevin</p> Lisa -

As for weather, she said bring rain gear and a light fleece - they typically due Thanksgiving in the mountains, so it maybe in the 50s or 60s (versus 90s lower down). Other than that, pack light she said.</p> <p>Jenny, I think my wife already emailed you, but either one of you or anybody else headed to Panama in the mid-May group, I'm kevincropper@yahoo.com kevin</p> My wife and I are in your group too!
